A retiring partner's loan account has ₹40000 balance and interest for one year is six percent. What is the interest?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹2400

The direct answer is A, ₹2,400. Interest for one year is calculated as principal or balance × annual rate × time. Here the balance is ₹40,000, the rate is 6%, and time is 1 year. Convert 6% to 6/100: interest = ₹40,000 × 6/100 × 1 = ₹2,400. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹4,000, would represent 10% of ₹40,000, not 6%. Option C, ₹6,000, would represent 15% of ₹40,000 and is too high. Option D, ₹24,000, is six times the correct amount and may result from treating 6 as a whole number rather than 6 percent. Because the time is exactly one year, no extra time conversion is needed. Interest is an expense for the firm and is generally credited to the retiring partner’s loan account when due, depending on the accounting entry required. Memory cue: one-year interest = amount × rate/100; never forget the percent sign.
